Yes there is a meaning; at least for me, there is one thing that matters - to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people. – Logan Pearsall Smith

Not your usual 53.

I write either SxGxS – sweetxgoofyxsexy 3x5x3, or else it’s bittersweet angst. In either case I lean to serious shounen-ai, as opposed to just the grudging lust typical of most Sanzo/Gojyo fics. And why not, I say? Whoever said these two aren’t capable of falling truly madly deeply head over heels? Welcome to a whole new deviant flavor of the world of 3x5x3…

I am OBSESSED with this pairing. And in my daydreams (hence also in my fics), they are madly, furiously in love. That’s why I label my stories Shounen-ai AND WAFF. Yaoi rocks, but I just find it more thrilling to think of having good old love mixed in. ‘Love’ Sanzo and Gojyo style, of course. (See “Barely Breathing"!) But it must be noted that outside of the parodies, Sanzo IS still reserved around the other guys – it’s only behind closed doors that he wears his heart on his sleeve. For Gojyo. I like to think that Gojyo finds redemption in Sanzo, and that Sanzo finds meaning to go on, in Gojyo.

And yes, sweet readers, in a few of my stories, Hakuryu is a girl-dragon. I know perfectly well she’s really a he, but I just happened to read a fic where he’s a she, and I just liked the idea of Hakkai with a girl dragon… XP Plus, it turns out well for my crazy plots, so… Gomen, Hakuryu!

I am a deviant to the third degree: I write yaoi, Saiyuki yaoi on top of that; and with the extremely unlikely Sanzo/Gojyo pairing. But I take it even farther: I write Sanzo/Gojyo LOVE stories! Which isn’t to say that I stray too much from the character’s personalities – oh no – rest assured, Sanzo is still as surly as ever, and Gojyo is still – well, Gojyo is THE flirt, enough said.

Having been asked recently by a perplexed reader for a “guide” to my admittedly erratic and demented writing style, I thus comply :

There’s the Barely Breathing thread, rated SxGxS (see above) which includes (as of this writing):

- Barely Breathing

- Bad Medicine

- Heatwave

- Misfit

- Angels and Demons

- Risky Business

- Good Vibrations

- The Angel In The Marble

- Please

- Febbre Alta

- BareNaked

- Heart Attack

-The Opposite of Two

-Take Two: Striptease

Next is the Torrent thread, which is still Sanzo/Gojyo, but on a slightly more serious vein. And in this series Hakkai and Goku are aware of the kappa and the priest’s relationship. (As opposed to the above thread, in which they are totally clueless. XD)

- Torrent

- Hungry Eyes

- Man To Man

- True Colors

- Heart To Heart

- Wildflower

And then there’s the bittersweet Longing Thread, which is actually how I picture their ‘real’ romance would be, given the circumstances. (I’ve written a special ‘epilogue’ for this arc, titled Sol Invictus, which just might result in a thread of its own, although it would be AU for future stories, if any.)

- Longing 1: The Road Less Traveled

- Longing 2: The Silent Path

- Longing 3: The Sunset Road

Naturally I’ve also created my very own parodies of the anime (Gensomaden, Reload and Gunlock), which are available elsewhere, as I was punished by fanfic dot net purely on account of a misunderstanding. (Boo-hoo-hoo…) These three are available at mediaminer dot org, and are titled Truly, Madly, Deeply , Episode 1: Truly Madly Deeply, and Truly Madly Deeply 4Ever.

Also available at mediaminer is the collection of "censored" Sanzo/Gojyo smut deleted from my stories. (What a good friend calls "director's cuts" LOL). This one is titled 53X, and is hard yaoi, thus its exclusion from stories posted here. ;-)

Lastly we have the one-shots, which include:

- Impervious

(Note: This is funny, because most people think it’s shounen-ai, but I really didn’t have it in mind when I wrote this. I just thought I made Gojyo the flirt that he is, and the fact that readers automatically assume that he and Sanzo are together just makes me GRIN. Talk about PROOF, eh? There are plenty of these ‘unofficial 3x5x3’ moments in the anime and manga, btw… to my own overactive imagination, that is! LOL)

- Saiyuki Boys, Bared

- To Die For (Supposed to be a transition fic from the Longing arc to Sol Invictus; but I don't like Sanzo too much in this one, so it's classified as a one-shot.)

- Heaven’s Child

- Taboo

(This one IS shounen-ai, and an alternate take on the Longing scenario of a Sanzo/Gojyo ‘reality’.)

Sanzo decides to tease Gojyo but the incorrigable kappa winds up with the upper hand. Check the list at the end of my profile for its place in the arc. Rated for language and suggestive themes, probably should have just been T

Nothing seems to be going right for a certain red-headed kappa. He can't easily escape the things he hates, which might or might not be such a bad thing after all. Will he make the most of it? oneshot 53

[53, 8Y, KD, yaoi] Dokugakuji hears an interesting rumor about his little brother and decides to investigate. He's not the only one who finds out. The Ikkou gets separated and is forced to accept a few truths along the way. [Complete with epilogue.]

SanzoGojyo AU: Thirteenyearold Kouryuu is not pleased with his socalled friend Sha Gojyo. But, to be fair, Gojyo isn't happy with him either. An argument, a reconcilliation and an experiment follows. ONESHOT, SHOUNENAI, RATED FOR LOTS OF SWEARING.

There's a secret about halfbreed demons that few people know, and Gojyo flees the group to keep it hidden. But now that the unthinkable has happened, Gojyo has nothing left and nowhere to turn. Mpreg, angst, death.

53. Goku gets a cold. Sanzo gets antsy. Gojyo gets laid. Hakkai wonders if he'll get some sleep. Forgive the big spaces, but I haven't figured out how to make the little breaks between them so I settled for the spaces. Just...leap to the next paragraph.

Gojyo reflects on how the four of them play Mahjongg, why they started playing it in the first place, and what it meant after the first bout with Kamisama. As usual, it's all Goku's fault. [Gojyo POV, Oneshot] Please Read & Review!

Hakuryu's previous owner wasn't quite as amiable as Hakkai, whose many skills will be put to the test both in & out of combat. Too bad Gojyo can't even find a clean shirt to wear! [Hakuryu Discovery story inspired by the Premium OVA] Please Read & Review!

[WeissKreuz&Saiyuki] Nachtregen epic, side story to Drinking Buddies. While Youji & Gojyo are out, the rest of the Weiss & Saiyuki teams keep busy, too. Left to their own devices, why would Aya & Sanzo make a bet about the playboys? [YoujixAya, 535]

Sanzo is jelous, but he will never say that he is, of all the women who gain Gojyo's attention. But when Sanzo comes back to the hotel drunk one night, Gojyo is there waiting for him, and one thing leads to another. And it all started with a couple cigare

Gojyo and Sanzo are separated from the group and must find shelter. When they do, they must find a way to stay warm. Gojyo knows how, but will Sanzo be willing. Not for kiddies! I'm warning you now. There is also some OOCness, but I guess it's okay. It's

Sanzo's out in the rain thinking about his faults and who he should have been. He's losing himself until Gojyo comes outside to help him. Then Sanzo realizes some people do understand how he feels and he was never alone. SanGoj

SanzoxGojyo. Stolen moments for two people who cannot keep their hands off each other… HeheheDedicated to all the fantastic peeps who gave such great reviews. Glad you like my nonsense! HOpe you like this next batch as well...

Most people think it’s shounenai, but I really didn’t have it in mind. Just thought I made Gojyo the flirt that he is, & when readers automatically assume that he and Sanzo are together it makes me GRIN
